Title: System and method for modulating power to vehicle accessories during auto-start and auto-stop
Inventor: HAFIZ SHAFEEK KHAFAGY
IPC: F02N11/08
Filed: 2017-03-01
Abstract: Power to a vehicle accessory, such as a heated windshield, is controlled to be gradually shut down and gradually restored during a vehicle stop-start procedure. After a request for an auto-shutdown of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle is detected, power to the vehicle accessory is reduced on a predetermined schedule responsive to such detection. The occurrence of a restart of the internal combustion engine of a vehicle is determined, and power supplied to the vehicle accessory is increased on a predetermined schedule responsive to the restart (fig 3). The predetermined schedule includes blocks that are deactivated/activated in order. This reduces engine speed flare/lagging and increases drivability and occupant satisfaction.

Title: Microcontroller
Inventor: RICHARD FRENCH
IPC: G06F21/55
Filed: 2017-04-27
Abstract: A microcontroller comprises a logic unit 7 which sends an interrupt signal to a processor 3 when it receives a danger signal on a danger signal input line 10. The CPU responds to the interrupt by halting execution of the currently-running routine and executing a danger interrupt service routine which accesses a logic unit state line 9 to determine and apply corrective action. The logic unit receives processor state data on CPU state line 8, stores it, and is arranged to learn a correlation between receipt of the danger signal and a subset of the stored processor activity data. Subsequently, when the state information received from the processing unit matches the subset of stored state data, the logic unit preemptively sends the interrupt signal to the CPU. The processor has an output line 33 which may be connected to a device. Sensors on the device may provide the danger signal.

Title: Improved crimping
Inventor: ANDREW BENJAMIN SIMPSON BROWN
IPC: H01R4/18
Filed: 2018-08-16
Abstract: A crimp 400 for an SMA actuator wire 408 comprises an electrical connection zone 406 and an electrical insulation zone where the wire emerges from the crimp.

Title: Image modification styles learned from a limited set of modified images
Inventor: GREGG DARRYL WILENSKY
IPC: G06T11/60
Filed: 2020-04-24
Abstract: Image modification styles learned from a limited set of modified images are described. A learned style system receives a selection of one or more modified images serving as a basis for a modification style. For each modified image, this system creates a modification memory, which includes a representation of the image content and modification parameters describing modification of this content to produce the modified image. These modification memories are packaged into style data, used to apply the modification style to input images. When applying a style, the system generates an image representation of an input image and determines measures of similarity between the input image’s representation and representations of each modification memory in the style data. The system determines parameters for applying the modification style based, in part, on these similarity measures. The system modifies the input image according to the determined parameters to produce a styled image. The modification parameters may include highlights, shadows, whites, blacks, vibrance, contrast, clarity, brightness, saturation, contrast or exposure.
